Hello, my sweet fanfiction readers. It's time for a little check-in again. Don't worry. I promise this is a safe place to land, pause with me, and just relax for a second before you keep scrolling.

Have you drank water today? Drop your shoulders and remove your tongue from the roof of your mouth. Take a deep breath. Thank you sweet one, I'm proud of you.

Here's a motivating thought for you before you keep scrolling. Your least favorite character, the one that makes you spit nails and want to scream. Who makes your blood boil, who hurt your comfort character, they think you can't do this. They think you're not enough that you can't achieve anything. Prove. Them. Wrong. Let that motivate you, that this garbage horrid character thinks you can't, say fuck you to them and show that you can.

You're comfort character believes you can do it and so do I. You are worth more then you can ever know, you are loved, you are important and you are enough. I'll let you get back to your scrolling and hope one day you'll see yourself the way your comfort character and I do.

You've got this sweet one, take a deep breath and show the world just how bright you shine when you choose to do more than survive. When you choose to live.

If you need a friend, a kind word, or an ear to listen, please reach out. I want to hear you, whether it's to vent about life or tell me all about a fanfiction you love or your favorite character or a song you enjoy. I want to hear it, I want you to stay.

Your comfort character believes in you, and so do i, a fellow fanfiction reader who's scrolling along with you, looking for a safe place to land. I hope tomorrow is better than today. With love and all the belief that you can do great things, even if that great thing is just surviving.

❤️💛True💛❤️

Just a small reminder today: it's okay if getting up was too hard. It's okay if the dishes in the sink piled up and are now overwhelming. It's okay if it's hard to get laundry done or make dinner. It's okay if the simple and mundane things in life seem insurmountable right now.

One day they won't be. One day you'll wake up and be able to get everything done. For now take it in bite-sized pieces and reward yourself for every little victory. Life is hard enough without being cruel to ourselves over things we struggle with.

Be kind to yourself, give yourself the same amount of understanding and grace you give others. Know that you are loved, you are important and you matter.

From the fellow fanfic addict who scrolls Tumblr looking for escape, who still cries when she's overwhelmed by life, who's learning to take things one day at a time. You are not alone and I believe in you. No matter who you are, I promise I do.

I hope tomorrow is better than today. If there's an infinite number of universes, then there's so many where you are so loved by the characters you love, imperfections and all.

❤️💛 True 💛❤️

Hello again, sweet one, my late night scrollers, the early morning dreamers. I hope you're well, I hope today was better than yesterday.

I'm here to remind you that if there's an infinite number of universes, there's at least one where you are your comfort characters favorite person. They love and adore you for all your flaws and quirks and everything you hate about yourself, the same way you love all of their imperfections. There's a universe where they wait by the door for you every night, where they're your absolute best friend, where they take care of you and love you the way you should be loved.

You are so wonderful, did you know that? Every time you have a bad day, every time life tries to knock you down, you find the strength to get back up again. You keep going. Do you know how incredible that is? How proud your comfort character is of you for being able to do that? I'm so proud of you, I believe in you so much, and every day you make it through proves that I'm right to believe in you. We always knew you could do it, that you could make it to tomorrow.

I'll let you get back to your scrolling now, I bet you have so many stories just waiting for you, so many adventures and friendships to have. But before you go, I want to take a moment and remind you of something.

Anything that keeps you going, anything that makes the bad days better, anything that makes life even a little easier, is worth it. If fanfictions and comfort characters help you get through the day, then I hope you find the exact stories you need. Life is so hard and so scary, and sometimes it's easier to lose ourselves in the worlds of our comfort characters, and that's more than okay. Whatever keeps you going isn't anything to be ashamed of. Making it to tomorrow to read the next chapter of a fanfiction or a new edit of your comfort character is a valid reason to keep going.

I hope tomorrow is better than today, and that one day you won't need a reason to keep going, but for now, I'll give you this one. Your comfort character wants you to stay. They will always want you to stay. I want you to stay. I'm always here if anyone needs a friend.

Your comfort character believes in you, and so do I, the random girl on Tumblr who pops in every now and then to remind you that you are loved, you are enough, and you are worth it. You've got this sweet one, I know you do. Happy scrolling.

❤️💛True❤️💛

Hello sweet readers, my fellow fanfiction lovers. My late night scrollers, my mid day day dreamers, my sunrise few. I have a little hypothetical for you, so please bare with me, I promise theres a point to this. Imagine Tumblr is a very large building with many, many rooms. And when you walk in theres doors and hallways and different wings and branches. Rooms for different fanfictions, different tropes, different worlds, characters, universes. And there are some doors that are perfectly well kept. They look like they have never been touched. You can tell theres things there but those arent your rooms, not your doors. And there are others where the carpets are wearing in the front of them from a well trodden path. Where you can see that they're well-loved and well kept and behind those doors, are your comfort characters, waiting for you.

They wait for you there. They're so excited when they hear the front door open. They just know you're coming to them. They want to see how they'll fall in love. Or how you'll fall in love or how you'll meet again. They want to know the adventures you're going to have, the stories you're going to tell. They'll ask how your day was, what your fears are. They are ready and waiting for you. That's how I see Tumblr. I see the other readers and writers as fellow travelers in and out of doors. We pass each other, and we smile and wave. We may make a comment or two, but it's safe. Here it is the safest place we could be in. I don't know if everybody else uses Tumblr this way, but I feel like there's a lot of us. We come here looking for safety and comfort, acceptance and love, and things that we can't get from everyday life. So I just want you to know that every time you open those doors, your comfort character wakes up and is ready for you. They're waiting for you, and no matter what is going on in everyday life, they love you, and you are not alone.

You are worthy, you are important, you matter, and you are loved. If not by people in your everyday life, then by your comfort characters and by me. I adore you and I hope that you will do everything possible to stay. It's not a bad life, it's just a bad time right now. Things will get better. And no, it doesn't seem that way right now, but I was there. I was in that dark place and comfort characters were one of the only things that helped me, that kept me going. Please don't give up, we need you here. Your favorite author would realize when you stop reading or when you stop commenting, your readers would miss your writing.

I feel a need to keep doing these posts because i have a hope that each one helps at least one person and thats enough for me.

So I want you to take a deep breath, breathe in and out. Relax your shoulders, remove your tongue from where it's pressed to the roof of your mouth. Take a drink of water, and continue your scrolling.

You are important here. The world would be so much darker without you and I hope tomorrow is better than today. I hope you find the fan fiction you need. Whether it is enemies to lovers, found family, The one bed trope, A/B/O, whatever it is, I hope it helps. I hope you have a place to escape to and I hope you know you are safe here. If you need a friend, i am more than willing to be that friend I will listen. Tell me about your favorite fan fictions. Tell me about life, tell me about your family, tell me about anything you need. Enjoy your scrolling, dear one. I hope tonight or this morning or whenever youre reading this is better than yesterday. I hope this makes life a little easier. You matter. You are important You are loved.

Your comfort character believes in you and so do I, we will always believe in you, and I will always be a safe plan to land. From the very, very happy girl on tumblr who was once a very, very sad girl who thought the world Was a little too dark and a little too scary. Who almost gave up and who's so glad she didn't.

To the fanfiction readers, the late night scrollers, the ones who are trying to escape, to find a moment of peace, to find comfort or a safe place to land.

You're safe here. You are safe, you are loved and you are important. The world needs you and my dear sweet one, I promise you it will get better. Maybe not today or tomorrow but it will get better. People love you and are here for you.

You are valid, you are enough. I promise you that you are enough.

So take a deep breath and relax a little for me. I hope you find the fan art or the fanfiction you need. I hope you find comfort and safety here. I hope you know you're favorite character is waiting for you, they adore you and are so excited to see you.

You can do this sweet one. Life is tough but so are you. Your comfort character believes in you and so do I, the random girl on Tumblr who knows it gets better, because it did for her.

PSA: Before you rage about rainbow capitalism this Pride month, please be gentle. Remember that some of us would have killed to have what we have now at thirteen. Even just a rainbow flag would've made thirteen year old me feel so seen, if I'd seen what I see now? I would have cried my heart out.

So when you see someone standing in the middle of all the 'rainbow capitalism' with tears in their eyes, think about how they felt when they couldn't even be honest about who they are. Now there are rainbows everywhere. Now there are more then just rainbows and people are feeling seen.

When you see the person at their first pride dressed in all rainbows, be kind. Cringey or not, they're celebrating getting to be who they are. They're proudly showcasing their colors and 15 years ago? That wasn't something even nearly as socially acceptable as it is now.

Love one another, support eachother, and remember, the first pride? Was a riot.

Remember your comfort character believes in you and so do I. The random girl on Tumblr who tries her hardest to spread love, comfort, and acceptance. Who stood in Target and cried because she felt seen. I see you sweet one, I adore you, I am so proud of you.

❤️💛 True❤️💛

i’d rather have rainbow capitalism then living in constant fear of discovery. the woman in the pride flag disney t-shirt might be missing the nuance, but at least i know i can be myself. a street full of rainbow flags makes me more comfortable holding a mans hand. look. corporations aren’t your friend. they will sell to whoever will buy. but kids seeing gay everything every year is only ever a good thing, and a massive improvement in history

[i-am-true-believer]

Heey how are you? First I love your blog! Thank you for all the kind words you write. I really need to hear them some time. English is not my frist language so sorry for mistakes. But I don't really have anyone who I can talk to about this...so I just want to ask you this. I turn 25 years old this year. My comfort character is at the end of the series 23 years old. Now I get really anexious to getting to old for him. Because he dosent get older but me.... Well I do. And for now it's not an big age gap, but in some years? I don't know. It's somehow really stressing me out. Maybe thats stupid... Do you think sometimes about that too? Or maybe it's just me. What do you think about that?

Sorry for the long text!

Best wishes❤️

Ah here's the thing my dear, we meet these characters at one age yes but they do age in their universe. We just don't see it. And if there is infinite universes well then there is absolutely a universe where you're getting older and growing together. Either way they would absolutely adore you I promise. It's okay to worry about it, it's only natural really. But the beauty of comfort characters is we make our own narratives when we read fanfiction or look at fan art. So we choose their ages, certain parts of their personality and how they'd feel about us. You're not alone and I promise you're not too old for them, you never will be. They will always love and believe in you and so will I.

❤️💛 True ❤️💛

Hello my sweet fanfiction readers, it's been a minute hasn't it? I've kept up with the messages but I've been lacking in posts and I apologize so here's your check in my dear. Just a quick stop for a rest then you can be on your way with your scrolling.

I know that its hard to believe we are loved or worthy of love and affection. I know its hard to remember that people want you around but sweetheart,that's the beauty of a comfort character. You decide how you believe they'd react. But honestly? I guarantee that in some universe, you are their favorite character too. There's an infinite number of realities, who's to say they don't adore you in them? Flaws make us real. They make us human. Your comfort character has flaws and things that people don't like, but you still love them. Give yourself that same grace, if you can love an imperfect character, they can adore you.

Find your people, your Fandom, your comfort character. Fall in love with them again, find your family, your peace. It's okay to hide in fantasy worlds, I know it's easier sometimes and anything that helps you through the bad times is worth it. The world is scary and we're gonna do what we have to to make it through 🩷 I'm here as well. Tell me about your comfort character, about your favorite fic, about your struggles, about life about anything. I am here sweetheart if your comfort character isn't quite helping or you need someone to talk to I am here. I'd much rather sit and talk to you then hear you had no one my dear.

How are you? Are you drinking enough? Can you take a good deep breath for me? Unclench your jaw and drop your shoulders. Isn't that better? I'm so proud of you you know. With all the bad in the world and all the struggles you're still here and you're still going. That's something to be proud of my dear. I know it's hard but you can do this.

I'll let you get back to your scrolling, but remember I'm here, your comfort characters are here. We love you, we believe in you. We want you here. You are wanted, you are loved. Love eachother, support eachother. Remember were all just here trying to make it through one day at a time.

Your comfort character believes in you and so do I, the random girl on Tumblr who's just like you, looking for an escape, for acceptance, for a little slice of peace. You are safe here my dear,I promise. Come visit me if you need a friend

To all my fellow fanfiction readers, writers, fan art enjoyers and reality escapers.

Merry Christmas and happy holidays to all of you. This time of year is hard and whether you're hiding from your family in your favorite Fandom, escaping away after a hard night of socializing, are just enjoying what you love or if you're like me and using you're Fandom to not feel so alone right now, I see you. I see your struggles, I see you trying, I see how tired you are. The holidays are almost over. We can make it through this.

Your comfort characters are here, laughing, loving, living. They're so happy you're here with them, that you spend these holidays enraptured in their stories. They cant wait to see what adventures today will hold. Will it be hurt comfort? A fix it fic? Found family? Will it be romance or will it be a silly trope that makes you smile? Theyre waiting for you darling. They're so proud of you for making it through this. I'm so proud of you. I believe it's going to get better, I believe tomorrow will be better than today. I believe one day you won't have to use Fandom as an escape and can just enjoy it. But until then I'm here, your comfort characters are here.

If you need someone today my inbox is wide open, tell me about your holiday, about your comfort character, your favorite fic. I wanna listen. I want to make sure no one is alone today.

Your comfort character believes in you and so do I, the random girl on Tumblr who's also scrolling at Christmas time just trying to make it through.

❤️💛True💛❤️

Hello my fellow fanfiction readers, my late night w wanderers, how are you?

It's been a while but I wanted to check in, I know the holidays are hard. I want to let you know it's okay sweetheart. It's okay to use fanfiction to escape, it's okay to need fictional characters and fantastic worlds to survive. You're doing so so wonderful and I'm so proud of you for making it this long.

Take a moment here, unclench your jaw, relax your shoulders,breathe in deep. This is a safe space. One day it won't be so hard to make it through the day, I promise.

So go sweet one, your comfort character is waiting. Will it be enemies to lovers? The one bed trope? Soulmates? Found family? Whatever it is, they're waiting for you. They can't wait to see what adventure you'll have this time, or if you'll revisit a favorite. They love you so so much and they are so proud of you.

Holidays are hard, but you are loved, you matter, you are important. Remember your comfort character believes in you and so do I, the random girl on Tumblr who's just trying to offer a little bit of comfort to her fellow wanders.

💛❤️True❤️💛
